In the Magic Phoenix Empire,
earlier that morning, the queen requested Rocky and Erica to meet her in the hall. Felicia was also there.
"Although I've promised to hand over the Magic Phoenix Empire, I can't leave my people behind." She cut straight to the point.
"Are you saying that you're going back on your word, Your Majesty?" Rocky asked her coldly.
"I am aware that, as the queen, my words carry tremendous weight. And I will use my own way to fulfill my promise. Today, I'll issue an imperial edict to withdraw all the Magic Phoenix Empire troops and relinquish military leadership to Erica. After that, I'll accept Alston's offer on the condition that my people won't be involved in the war," the queen announced.
Rocky thought it was a good plan. Although it appeared the empire surrendered to Alston, its troops would actually be handed over to the United Army. By the time Alston found out, it would be too late.
"I'm afraid that once Alston finds it out, you'll be in great danger," Rocky addressed the queen with concern.
This made Erica look at the queen nervously. Although she still denied that she was her daughter, blood was thicker than water. She wouldn't allow her mother's life to be put in danger.
